A velvety roasted pear purée is the key to this batched bourbon drink that says fall without screaming it.
Why this recipe works:
- Roasting the pears adds depth and concentrates their flavor by cooking out some of their liquid.
- Maple syrup adds necessary sweetness while deepening the earthy profile of the drink.
- Batching the mixer a few hours before your party allows for no-fuss presentation.
